Channel Assignment
The Channel Assignment screen allows you to reassign almost
any receiver channel to a different transmitter channel. For
example, the receiver gear channel could be re-assigned to the
transmitter throttle channel.

channels 11 and 12 (AUX 6 and AUX 7) on a 12-channel
receiver. Channels 11 and 12 will have 22ms frame rate and
2048 resolution.
X-Plus allows for up to 8 additional channels over the 10
primary channels.
1. Scroll to the receiver channel you wish to change.
2. Press the scroll wheel once and scroll left or right to change
the receiver input selection.
3. Press the scroll wheel a second time to save the selection.
